It's said that Janet Yellen wants to bring back the interest rates and end all stimulus prints. Would her nomination cause another massive dive in the market?

Not true and no.

Interest rates for homes going back near 15%. And no longer printing stimulus funds for the government.

Because Yellen has spoken about her position on stimulus, tapering and the elusive recovery and I have no reason to think she was lying when she said it.

Every so often a stimulus is put into accounts or the market to establish more trading, right? This happened a couple months ago. I'm not thoroughly educated on economy or the federal reserve. That is why I ask.

There are some pretty straightforward explanations on how the Fed attempts to stimulate the economy which you can google if you're interested.

Janet doesn't read this board, so there is no point in trolling her.

Will do, long snapper from 5 years ago.

Janet Yellen is married to economist George Akerlof.
Google "Efficiency Wage Models of the Labor Market".
Yellen is going to promote continuing monetary policy. The FED is likely to taper, but they are not ending the policy and they are certainly not raising the discount rate anytime soon.
Yellen believes that inflation can be tolerated if it boosts employment.

on a macro scale, as long is it's moderate inflation I agree with her. On a "IHaveToFeedMyFamily" scale, that rich bitch can EAD.

OK it seems you have a genuine interest in this rather than just spouting stuff so I'll respond.
The Federal Reserve provides what could be considered as 'monetary stimulus'. They will buy or sell securities in the open market to either provide or take away liquidity in the markets depending on the financial conditions at the time. They also do this for normal operational reasons as well with banking repos, etc. but that's a different subject.
Janet Yellen has been Ben Bernanke's vice chairman for a long time. You can think of a Fed governor in the term of 'hawk' or 'dove'. A hawk would mean they support tight monetary policy, less stimulus and higher interest rates. A dove would mean they are more supportive of looser monetary policy, more stimulus and lower interest rates.
Both Larry Summers and Janey Yellen are doves, however Yellen is considered more dovish than Summers as she has usually been more dovish than Bernanke. Bernanke is widely viewed as a dove (Helicopter Ben, etc.) when in reality he is extremely moderate. He makes his choices of monetary policy based on data and market conditions.
Also the idea of providing government with stimulus is not really true at all in a technical sense, however that is a completely different subject all together. You can make an arguement that the Federal Reserve's easing policies have indirectly motivated the government to borrow more which I would partially agree with, but there becomes many operational issues with the Treasury market that are often ignored in that context as well.

Fed Funds target rate, not the discount rate. The discount rate is irrelevant at this point.
