In this sample, the payload (i.e. the child element of #xmlel{name = 
'item', ns = ?NS_PUBSUB}) is not an #xmlel{} but an #xmlcdata{}.

Try with :

...
Json = "{'symbol':'MSFT', 'bid':28.66, 'ask':28.67, 'bidSize':61, 
'askSize':13, 'volume':'65488100, 'last':28.66}",

Quote = #xmlel{name = 'stocknews', children = [exmpp_xml:cdata(Json)]},

IQ = exmpp_client_pubsub:publish("pubsub."?XMPP_SERVER, Symbol, Quote),
...
