  • “The Journey Is the Destination: Safari with Dan Eldon”
    Objects of Art LA Presents a Special Exhibition “The Journey is the Destination: Safari with Dan Eldon” Limited Edition Prints from the Journals of Dan Eldon, Including Many Never Before on Offer October 6-8, 2017 September, 2017-- This October, Objects of Art LA will debut at The Reef in Los Angeles. One of the highlights is a special exhibit “The Journey is the Destination: Safari with Dan Eldon,” featuring over 25 limited edition prints from the journals of the artist, many of which were featured in the best-selling book of the same name published by Chronicle Books. Much of the work has never been on offer before and this will be the first time any of the prints will have been exhibited for sale on the West Coast. Every piece has a direct reference to Eldon’s safaris, and Objects of Art LA will be the only place to view several of his actual journals, which will also be part of the exhibition. Eldon's art is in numerous prestigious private collections, including those of Diana Rockefeller, Madonna, Julia Roberts, Christiane Amanpour and Rosie O'Donnell, among many others. There will also be two showings of the new award-winning feature film launched at the Toronto Film Festival, The Journey is the Destination, starring Maria Bello and Ben Schnetzer, which tells the story of how Dan Eldon, the artist, explorer, and Reuters photojournalist, led a group of unlikely teens on a rollicking safari across Africa to deliver aid to a refugee camp in Malawi in 1990. The film then follows Dan as he finds himself covering a famine and spiraling civil war in Somalia as Reuters’ youngest photojournalist.

  • Previously Recommended Stocks
    The Prudent Speculator All Previously Recommended Stocks Important Information These pages display all stocks recommended in The Prudent Speculator since it began on 03/11/1977 through 08/31/2021. These 1929 stocks have an average annualized market appreciation of 17.5% {not counting dividends} with an average 6.39 year holding period and a 63.35% success {profitable} rate. Asterisks ”*” note changes of original recommended prices due to stock splits, mergers, spinoffs, or returns of capital. Gain/Loss stated is not representative of an individual’s performance. An individual investor’s performance would have and will vary based on the securities selected and timing of purchases and sales. Performance calculations are blithely offered as if they were the final and single result of a stock’s or portfolio’s gain over an arbitrary time period. Alas, there are many variables that may not be obvious but ought to be carefully considered for a more accurate accounting. Tax considerations are usually important to most investors but are rarely notes in ”total return performance” percentages. One portfolio gains 20% a year but ”turns over” 100% each year generating short-term gains taxed at high rates of 39% or more. Another portfolio holds shares for several years, so most of its returns are long term capital gains taxed at 20%. Year after year, the long-term portfolio’s gains are taxed less frequently and at lower rates so there is more after-tax capital gains remaining to reinvest, resulting in a significantly higher after-tax return, even though each portfolio showed 20% appreciation each year.

In 1993, artist and photojournalist Dan Eldon was covering the famine and unrest in Somalia for Reuters News Agency when UN forces bombed the residence of warlord Aidid. Enraged loyalist supporters violently retaliated, murdering Eldon and three other western journalists. Although his life was short, Eldon lived his years with voracious passion, leading an aid mission across Africa, working as a graphic designer for Mademoiselle Magazine, publishing a book, directing a short film and creating 17 extraordinarily powerful volumes of art work, all before the age of 22. Nearly five years ago, in a space above a club that Dan had patronized when he was 17 and living in New York, Dan Eldon’s work first captured the hearts and minds of New York with an amazing one-night exhibit.

  • The Journey Is the Destination Movie
    The journey is the destination movie Continue © 1996-2014, Amazon.com, Inc. or its Los Angeles affiliates (CNN)In what can often be a divided world full of bitter political battles, social and economic injustice, racial and religious persecution - it's easy to get lost in everything. So how do you find your way? Your purpose? Dan Eldon found his early days, and risked his life -- ultimately losing -- to document and help those struggling with war and famine in Africa. He died when he reported on the civil war in Somalia in 1993. Now, his story is a Netflix feature film.Writer and director Bronwen Hughes came across Dan's story by reading the book titled The Journey is the Destination -- compiled by Dan's mother, Kathy, based on the dozens of magazines he left behind. When the pages of this book open, it's like going down some kind of rabbit hole - so many witty observations and ideas, Hughes told CNN. It was almost as if he had left a visual map of how to see the world through his eyes. Dan Eldon was born in England in 1970. When she was 7, she moved with her parents and younger sister Amy to Nairobi. Kenya's color and chaos was ideal for this dyslexic child with wild ideas.'One of the most exciting people I've ever met'Dan tracked down his mother, Kathy, a newspaper journalist who championed activists and nation builders in her columns. His young mind was captivated by these social pioneers. These people didn't necessarily ask for permission and didn't necessarily get licenses, but they solved whatever the problem was and I have to write about it, said Kathy Eldon on CNN.
