Stone,

I will refer you again to these graphs that show quite clearly that more often than not, a falling US stock market DOES NOT result in a rising dollar (and falling gold). Unfortunately, most people who claim the two move in exactly opposite directions are only basing this conclusion off the last 6-12 months. It is quite possible, indeed, probable based on a longer view of historic market correlations, that the next leg down in the US stock market results in the US dollar falling simultaneously. If you believe that the next leg down may be a grinding move lasting months to years and not a crash, this is epecially probable.

Please keep and refer the so-called experts to these graphs the next time they try to scare you into selling your gold-related investments due to a falling US stock market.
