Companies traded on the stock exchange in everyday professional life
Since I am @Simpson nominated, I now grant an insight into listed companies in my daily professional life.
Briefly about me: I am a mathematician and work in the semiconductor industry in a listed company.
Starting with the software: pretty much all computers in the office run Windows and Office from $MSFT (+0.53%). The PC's and the monitors themselves are all from $HPQ (+0.27%) with keyboard and mouse from $LOGN (+0.97%). The telephone system is WebEx from $CSCO (+0.92%) and the work phones are from $AAPL (+0.1%) with $DTE (+0.67%) contract (and that although next door $VOD (-0.07%) sits). In addition, there are large monitors in each conference room from $DELL (+0.51%).
In the production of the semiconductors itself there are of course many machines from $ASML (-2.01%), $CAJ (+1.89%) and $7731 (-1.41%). The many industrial gases needed come from $LIN , $AI (+0.57%) and $4091 (+1.15%). The basic material and chemicals come among others also from $WCH (-1.03%) and $BAS (-0.35%).
The purchasers of the finished chips then include, for example. $VOW3 (-2.99%) , $BMW (-1.77%) , $MBG (-2.37%) and $TM (-2.19%). But also $V (-0.31%), $AAPL (+0.1%) and $SMSD (-0.35%) are customers.
I have certainly forgotten a lot, but as an insight it should be enough I think.
I nominate @DonkeyInvestor , @GoDividend and @Divmann (sorry if someone has already been nominated, I don't have an overview anymore).
