Summary (include Python version)

I'm using iexfinanace 0.3.5, I'm trying to get data for symbols with "-" for example ECF-PA, FHN-PA and more, those symbols return "Symbol not found", although they exist on yahoo web page (https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/FHN-PA/history?p=FHN-PA)

My Code: from iexfinance import Stock, get_historical_data sym = Stock('ECF-PA') sym.get_price()

Date/time of issue

Expected behavior

These symbols are not available from the provider. See below link:

Let me know if there is a separate issue. Thanks!
