Handling Yahoo Finance Quotes Hash in Rails 3

Question

I am trying to manipulate the hash returned from Yahoo Finance for their Standard Quote using Ruby on Rails. I am new to Ruby and am getting a compile error in a view .erb file when I try to run the program. My objective is relatively straightforward - I want to display the Stock symbol, Bid and Ask prices and Corp name for each quote contained in the hash.

I stored the hash in an instance variable called @quote_info and pass this hash to the View.

The code in the view is as folows :

 <h1>Stock Quote from Yahoo Finance</h1>

   <p>Stock Symbol(s) Requested: <%= @quote_list %> </p>



   <table>
     <tr>
    <th>Symbol</th>
    <th>Bid Price</th>
    <th>Ask Price</th>
  </tr>

  <% @quote_info.each |stock| do %>
    <tr>
    <td><%= stock.symbol %></td>
    <td><%= stock.bid %></td>
    <td><%= stock.ask %></td>
    </tr>
  <% end %>
   </table>  

I get a compile error on the each statement line , pointing to after the do term.

compile error
/home/lvl9/waf_projects/squotes_app/app/views/screenquotes/show.html.erb:18: syntax error, unexpected kDO
');@output_buffer.append_if_string=    @quote_info.each |stock| do 
                                                              ^

Any thoughts would be much appreciated. I am tearing my hair out and cannot afford to lose any more.

Just a misplaced do:

<% @quote_info.each do |stock| %>
