Apparently this investor desires to own Turkish stocks more than other people want to own Turkish stocks. If a hypothetical party wants to own Turkish stocks more than this investor, there are a variety of people who presently hold Turkish stocks who would be happy to oblige.
Most reporting on the markets is really, really boring when you get right down to it. "He's high-frequency trading! And placing big, risky bets! And who even knows if it's a he?!" sells a lot more papers than "Investment fund purchases stock legally on the open market; chooses not to broadcast intention to do so by using smoke signals but instead uses a computer."

- patio11 11y agoWhoever it is seems to have skipped from one local brokerage to the next honing his system and turning the latest, Yatirim Finansman, into the biggest net buyer on the market by far. YF is elsewhere explained to have represented ~2% of the market prior to this actor deciding to use it as his brokerage. It is very difficult for me to credit a market maker with that sort of impact on net buys, unless the market maker is very, very, very bad at their job.
