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 (-0,5%)
$EPOL

Poland:

$DNP (-1,59%)
$BFT (-3,45%)
$PKO (-0,76%)

CZ:

$MONET (+1,55%)
$KOMB (+1,27%)
$EFORU (-0,88%)
$CEZ (+0,09%)

Hungary:

$RICHTER (+0%)
$OTP (-0,01%)
$ANY

I have long considered building up smaller positions here in order to broaden 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%)

$KRI (-0,52%)

$FSBW

$FAST (+0,66%)

$MDLZ (-0,56%)

$RHI (-1,59%)

$PLD (+0,27%)

$VIS (-2,18%)

Two from Germany also made it onto the list:

$ALV (+0,31%)

$SIE (+1,13%)
