<li>Colour me perplexed. Murakami Group ran up <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/mitsui-matsushima-co-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:13569:1" rel="noopener">Mitsui Matsushima (1518 JP)</a>'s share price in acquiring 29%. The pattern was clear, but one assumes everyone in-group was on the same page.</li>
<li>The earliest buyer was NOMURA Aya. She bought early, slowly, then aggressively, then onshore buyers bought aggressively at higher prices. But she has now sold 6 days straight.</li>
<li>The pattern is confusing but it will become clearer in coming days.</li>

Colour me perplexed. Murakami Group ran up Mitsui Matsushima (1518 JP)'s share price in acquiring 29%. The pattern was clear, but one assumes everyone in-group was on the same page.
The earliest buyer was NOMURA Aya. She bought early, slowly, then aggressively, then onshore buyers bought aggressively at higher prices. But she has now sold 6 days straight.
