If you want examples:
A] Go to the yahoo finance site.
B] Under the "HOME" tab is a blank box. Begin typing the symbol or the company's name. As you are typing a drop down menu will appear with symbols.
C] When finished click on the "GET QUOTE" button. The quote for that stock should be displayed.
D] On the left side is a blue box. The 3rd line down is "Options". Click on that.

IF that company has options, the option chains will be displayed. Not all companies have options. In fact I don't think there are too many companies under $5 which have options.

Thanks for asking your Q! I enjoyed answering it!
