A bear market in the US ain't neeassarily a bear market for the world. Each day that goes by, India and China grow. Yes, there is still a great interdependence with the US, but those 2 grow a little less US dependent bit by bit. A US bear market is only one factor, not the sole determining factor for gold. Gold is a world market. Vast consumption of commoditiies by India and China will continue, and gold will not be left behind.

John, I "noodle" it too with the same questions. I do believe gold rose during the great depression, but do not remember why? I think, though, that this deficit dilemma may trump the variable of a bear market i.e. a bear market should cause the dollar to fall and if the dollar falls gold and base metals should rise irrespective of the bear mkt. But I also get caught up in conundrums e.g. if they raise interest rates that should bolster the dollar, but would also exacerbate the bear market. I have seen no one who has worked their way through this puzzle to my satisfaction.
