Economic recovery is under way

Equity market may be overpriced, and is due for a correction in the near term. But the big-picture direction for the economy is on the way up.  This trend is very clear if you look at the Conference Board's Leading Economic Indicator, LEI. 

LEI and GDP growth are highly correlated, with correlation ratio near 80%.
