Want to add some income-generating stocks to your portfolio? Then

look no further than Europe.
That's right. The region that's given investors numerous heart
palpitations over the last few years has some of the juiciest dividends in
the developed world.
As of April 7, the MSCI Europe has a 2.9 percent yield, according to
FactSet, which is a lot better than the S&P 500's 2.05 percent payout.
Many investors have already bought in, with $11 billion flowing into
European dividend funds year-to-date, versus about $7 billion for all of
2014, said EPFR Global, a company that tracks global fund inflows and
outflows.
