Thanks Tommy. After posting my question, I decided to get off my duff and try to find the answer for myself. For anyone who might be interested, the info is available here:

stls.frb.org

For the period 3/98-3/99 M3 increased by 537.52 billion, so it appears the rate of increase is slightly less. I don't know if that's significant, but there you have it. I still don't understand why the FED would increase money supply and interest rates at the same time. It seems contradictory to me--any comments?

Tommy,

In a market such as this, I'd imagine that covered call writing would be good. Perhaps as a trade if the premium is right, one could buy a stock - write a call with the expectation of it being called?

This market is sideways and it seems covered writing works well in sideways markets. Any thoughts?
