Tom,

Looking at MRVL, the time to buy puts was last week. You really should buy more time than the rest of the week.

With options, time is not on your side, so you need to buy as much time as makes sense. A safe bet is 3 months. You pay a premium but it's worth it. You may be right about the direction of MRVL going below 25. But allowing only a few days to a week, for it to be right, increases the chances of losing all your money.

FACT: 80% of all options expire worthless.

Good luck.
