Legendary investor Bill Gross told investors that they shouldn’t try to buy the dip after the worst stock-market drop since the pandemic.

“This is an epic economic and market event similar to 1971 and the end of the gold standard except with immediate negative consequences,” said Gross in a message on the social-media service X, following a similar message he gave to Bloomberg News.

VZ -4.50%*
and Altria

Or encourage him to buy with reckless abandon because it will save Trump?
