[quote=spdrun]Why pick on Yellen? The old cow actually seems to be more conservative than people assumed. Tapering despite zero GDP growth last quarter. Blurting out a six month timetable for tightening also speaks something to her personal views.[/quote]
“old cow”? Is that really necessary?
She is, by the way, doing exactly what Bernanke said would be done before he left.
And the “six months” is not 6 months from now. It’s more likely to mean around mid-2015. Which is also pretty much the same schedule that her predecessor described.
