Article Abstract:
The month of July 2005 was a good month for stocks as strong earnings from corporate America lifted stocks in the US companies but bond funds lost ground as the average intermediate bond fund lost 0.5%. Internet and technology stocks helped the technology category to gain 6.3% and the natural resources category gained 7.5% due to solid earnings and level energy prices.
