Some help with indentifying these indices (name and symbol)

I was reading Todd's Trading Thoughts at minyanville.com and today in his 8:58:09 AM writing he mentions some indicies that he tracks. I need to find the appropriate symbols on finance.yahoo.com since almost all of the daily data I download is from there. Would you guys please confirm these symbols please and if incorrect point me to the correct ones.

Todd's Comments yahoo symbol
BKX (banks) ^BANK or ^BIX
XBD (brokers) ^XBD
Trannies ^DJT
OSX (oil service) ^OSX
DRG (drugs) ^DJUSRD
BTK (biotechs) ^BTK
CMR (consumers) ^CMR
CYC (cyclicals) ^CYC

I decided to post the entire indicies that Todd mentioned so that we can get a confirmation and so that others don't have to hunt the post down for a complete list of what Todd mentioned.
 
They look okay for yahoo finance. Just be aware different data vendors list indices differently. For example, the oil service index may be listed as:

^OSX
$OSX
$OSX.X

depending on the vendor.
 
The Symbols vary with different quote providers.

Call your quote provider /firm for the exact symbols. What works for one is different with another
