@justinwolfers: Silent Kevin's theory: if the Fed stops talking, markets will stop watching the Fed and start watching the economy instead. But. Every loan rate from overnight to 30 years is built on expectations of what the Fed does next. Going quiet doesn't change that math—it just makes the guessing harder. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CcDds5uP8e4

No. The problem with Silent Kevin is that at least half of us don't trust his competence and at least half of us don't trust his sincerity. His reticence exacerbates both resulting in a complete lack of trust in Kevin AND the Fed.
