Leave off the "^" - they are otherwise standard ticker symbols.
Example:

Cool, thanks. Those symbols in the corners appear to be a yahoo convention.

I snoop around and get quotes for different types of annuities just to try
to get a feel for how various factors play into it, but seeing movement over
time in the same annuity from the same insurer is unnerving to me. I'm aware
of advice to buy several smaller annuities over time to even out this
variability. Things seem to change pretty quickly, though, and I can imagine
hitting all the troughs in the waves even with multiple purchases.

Otis,

What kind of annuity quote? Company selection and annuity type will
have a significant impact. Are you always looking at the same annuity
with the same insurer?

I think that long term interest rates would be close. See

Every once in a while I'll go to a web site and get an annuity quote to see
how the quotes vary over time. There has been a pretty significant variance
over the past few months.

This is tedious, however. You have to enter a bunch of fields on a web page.

Is there a ticker symbol I can add to finance.google.com that would follow
the same trends generally as annuity quotes and act as a proxy for the chore
of requesting actual quotes?
