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 (+2,63 %). The PC's and the monitors themselves are all from $HPQ (-1,97 %) with keyboard and mouse from $LOGN (-1,72 %). The telephone system is WebEx from $CSCO (+1,6 %) and the work phones are from $AAPL (-2,35 %) with $DTE (+0,19 %) contract (and that although next door $VOD (+0,29 %) sits). In addition, there are large monitors in each conference room from $DELL (+3,24 %).
In the production of the semiconductors itself there are of course many machines from $ASML (+2,16 %), $CAJ (-0,38 %) and $7731 (-0,41 %). The many industrial gases needed come from $LIN , $AI (+0,52 %) and $4091 (-0,42 %). The basic material and chemicals come among others also from $WCH (-2,42 %) and $BAS (-0,24 %).
The purchasers of the finished chips then include, for example. $VOW3 (-1,44 %) , $BMW (-1,57 %) , $MBG (-1,23 %) and $TM (-0,86 %). But also $V (-0,53 %), $AAPL (-2,35 %) and $SMSD (+0,96 %) 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).
