But this bear market -- the longest one ever -- threatens that as well.

It's not the longest. In 2011 there was a much longer period.

No. Check the charts. Peak in June 2011 --> bottom in November. 6 months. We are going on 9 months of bear market in the current cycle.

wasn't 2011 the year of the 'bubble' that didn't break the previous all time high?

That would be summer 2012. I'm not sure whether I would include that with the "bubbles" of 2011 and 2013. Point still stands -- the bear market ended with the November 2011 low.
