Google Inc.: Standard & Poor's equity analyst Scott Kessler reiterated a buy rating on shares of Google Inc. (GOOG) on Mar. 15.

On Mar. 13, the Financial Times reported that Google, owner of the world's most popular Internet search engine, has drawn up detailed plans to shut its search engine in China and is "99.9%" certain of going ahead with the closure. The FT cited a person it didn't name. The company may make the decision very soon, while it will take time to carry out a closure to make sure staffers don't suffer reprisals from authorities, the paper said, citing the person as familiar with Google's thinking.
