Toyota Stock Is the Best Japanese Easy-Money Stock to Buy

The best way to play the Bank of Japan's aggressive stimulus efforts is to buy Toyota stock.

The Bank of Japan is pumping trillions of yen (hundreds of billions of dollars) into the Japanese financial system to counter deflation. The efforts are sparking Japanese stock market euphoria. The Nikkei 225, a broad index of Japanese blue chips is up 11.1% this year.
