Hello everyone,

In view of what is currently going on in Western Europe (debt crisis etc.), I wondered whether it wouldn't make sense to look beyond Western Europe.

Eastern Europe in particular shines with stable economic growth and up-and-coming companies.

I became particularly aware of:

ETFs:

$EAST (+0,13%)
$EPOL

Poland:

$DNP (-3,6%)
$BFT (-1,53%)

CZ:

$MONET (+0,59%)
$KOMB (+0,63%)
$EFORU (+3,6%)
$CEZ (-1,44%)

Hungary:

$RICHTER (+0,57%)
$OTP (+1,08%)
$ANY

I have long considered building up smaller positions here in order to diversify my portfolio.

What is your opinion on this?

A recent W+ article by the "Welt" editorial team presents supposedly lucrative dividend stocks.

Here is a selection of 18 shares "with high dividends and quality":

$RICHTER (+0,57%)

$KRI (-0,34%)

$FSBW

$FAST (-0,83%)

$MDLZ (+1,08%)

$RHI (+0,34%)

$PLD (+0,58%)

$VIS (-0,95%)

Two from Germany also made it onto the list:

$ALV (-0,22%)

$SIE (-0,19%)

Judge for yourself and feel free to comment with your opinions.
