I can't help but wonder if the dude is actually another country looking to gain greater control or influence over Turkey.

It seems like there are much better ways to do that than the stock market. At least the bond market is more influential on the currency, economy, interest rates, etc.

  It might create these spikes not for stock market, but an ETF for stock-index

  I waited for that accusation. Not long though.

    Not an accusation. Just an observation. And that's all I've got. Could be pretty much anyone, clearly. Well. Anyone of the top 0.01% or so, if you want to narrow your search down a tad.

It'll be interesting to see if he actually tries to take control of any of the companies, I'm not sure of the ruling in Turkey but in the US if they buy more than 5% they have disclose if they intend to acquire.

  Can you be prevented from buying more stock if you say you do intend to acquire? As in, can the company tell you flat-out to stop buying, because of course they can always raise the price or sell to someone else, etc.

    If you intend to acquire then at some point you might have to make a tender offer.

All you have to do to gain control over a middle eastern country is claim that there are terrorists there or that the leader of the country is a tyrant. Seems to have worked beautifully in the past without question.

  It's Turkey. IT IS NOT THE MIDDLE EAST. Now, that being said, the political situation there right now is increasingly hellish. What's going on there now is the result of a very long game that has been played out since before the modern Turkish republic, founded by Ataturk.

    It's not unusual to include Turkey in the Middle East region: http://www.britannica.com/place/Middle-East http://www.britannica.com/place/Middle-East https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_East https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_East

  Turkey is not a middle east country and Turkish people are not arabs. We have a problem with having a good education and electing strong leaders among us.
