What is a good, nonagressive, small pet dog that doesn't have to be exercised and entertained to be enjoyable?
Q. This dog would be taken on walks, but would be inside more of the time than outside. I am over 60, and would like to have a loveable dog that would enjoy other people, as well. I love pets!

A. There are plenty of small breeds that would meet your needs. My 96 yr old great aunt has a chihuahua to keep her company. They are quite the pair. If you aren't up for potty training, I'd suggest an older dog, perhaps from the local humane society, or perhaps you could find a breeder in your area that has a dog they are ready to spay/neuter and retire to a good home. Many breeders of small dogs keep them in the house with them as part of the family. Good breeds that might fit your needs: chihuahua, maltese, shih tzu, pekingnese. Look for any small breed that's original purpose was companionship.

How are call and put options taxed when exercised?
Q. Let's say I buy 100 CALL options and 100 PUT options on Apple stock at a strike price of (say) $120. If I exercise the call options in (say) 1 month, what are the tax implications?

A. Taxes are due when you close out the position. If you had a gain or loss on your put or call. If an option ends out of the money and unexercised, then you have closed the option position by default and any money you paid is a capital loss or any money your received from writing the option is profit.

How much weight would I lose if I didn't eat for a week and I exercised for and hour everyday?
Q. It is for a religious purpose and losing weight is just a plus for me so, don't say it's unhealthy or anything like that. I would not eat anything at all and I would only drink water and this fasting tea from the health food store. P.S.I am 13, 135 lbs and 5'4 and I am a girl.

A. Well, I guess I can't really say it's wrong since you're fasting, but don't people who fast eat before sunrise or something? Girl, take my advice. If you lose weight through not eating, you're gonna gain it back double the fat you lost and it's gonna be twice as hard to lose that again. Your body's just built that way, so save yourself regret. If you HAVE to not eat, then just don't exercise. I guarantee you'll faint. You'll lose weight without exercising if you don't eat.
