Billionaire "bond king" Bill Gross told investors to avoid tech stocks and stick to value stocks. In a post on X, the "bond king" said, "Stick to value stocks, avoid tech for now." His message comes as a weaker-than-expected GDP report also showed that consumer prices remained high in the first quarter. Bond yields jumped on the data, and the tech sector dropped, with the Nasdaq Composite down more than 1% Thursday afternoon. Gross said that if investors have to dabble in tech, go with Microsoft: "MSFT best in tech if you must."
