English Synonyms and Antonyms
reserve
Bashfulness is a shrinking from notice without assignable reason. Coyness is a half encouragement, half avoidance of offered attention, and may be real or affected. Diffidence is self-distrust; modesty, a humble estimate of oneself in comparison with others, or with the demands of some undertaking. Modesty has also the specific meaning of a sensitive shrinking from anything indelicate. Shyness is a tendency to shrink from observation; timidity, a distinct fear of criticism, error, or failure. Reserve is the holding oneself aloof from others, or holding back one's feelings from expression, or one's affairs from communication to others. Reserve may be the retreat of shyness, or, on the other hand, the contemptuous withdrawal of pride and haughtiness. Compare ABASH; PRIDE; TACITURN.

Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen really struck a tone between dovish and hawkish, and I think delivered, for the most part, what the market needed. Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen was dovish enough to signal that a March rate hike is probably off the table but hawkish enough to leave the impression Federal Reserve is confident the economic recovery will persist, that's very important for stocks because as long as we can avoid a recession, this correction will probably work itself out and we'll have the opportunity to bounce back.
