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 (-0,64 %). The PC's and the monitors themselves are all from $HPQ (+2,59 %) with keyboard and mouse from $LOGN (+1,72 %). The telephone system is WebEx from $CSCO (+0,35 %) and the work phones are from $AAPL (-1,39 %) with $DTE (+0,84 %) contract (and that although next door $VOD (-0,56 %) sits). In addition, there are large monitors in each conference room from $DELL (+2,13 %).
In the production of the semiconductors itself there are of course many machines from $ASML (+0,07 %), $CAJ (+0,74 %) and $7731 (-0,24 %). The many industrial gases needed come from $LIN , $AI (+0,79 %) and $4091 (-1,49 %). The basic material and chemicals come among others also from $WCH (-2,36 %) and $BAS (+0,46 %).
The purchasers of the finished chips then include, for example. $VOW3 (+1,3 %) , $BMW (+2,26 %) , $MBG (+1,63 %) and $TM (+1,16 %). But also $V (+0,8 %), $AAPL (-1,39 %) and $SMSD (-2,07 %) 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).
