NEW YORK - The stock market is a day away from locking in its best July in 20 years. Stocks added to an already impressive run yesterday as another round of earnings reports gave investors new reasons to be optimistic about the economy. The Dow Jones industrial average rose to its highest level in nearly nine months with a gain of 83 points, and the Nasdaq composite index briefly traded above 2,000 for the first time since October.
