Comments: 

I "rolled" my Sep 16 short puts to the Sep 30 expiration cycle because:

• my Sep 16 puts were in-the-money on Sep 16 (expiration)
• simply buying back my ITM puts would have resulted in a LOSS of $1290 (I don't like to lose money)
• I wanted to give my options more time
• I wanted to collect another "credit"

Fri. 9/30/2016 (8:04:21 am, PT) (expiration)

buy back Sep 30 puts at $0.05 (debit)

PROFIT:  $1490

SUCCESS!

Comments:

By "rolling" my ITM puts, I was able to come out with a PROFIT in the end.
