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 (+0,7 %). The PC's and the monitors themselves are all from $HPQ (+4,69 %) with keyboard and mouse from $LOGN (+2,56 %). The telephone system is WebEx from $CSCO (+1,63 %) and the work phones are from $AAPL (+3,82 %) with $DTE (+1,44 %) contract (and that although next door $VOD (-0,09 %) sits). In addition, there are large monitors in each conference room from $DELL (+0,17 %).
In the production of the semiconductors itself there are of course many machines from $ASML (-2,55 %), $CAJ (-0,82 %) and $7731 (+1,91 %). The many industrial gases needed come from $LIN , $AI (+0,31 %) and $4091 (-0,22 %). The basic material and chemicals come among others also from $WCH (-1,17 %) and $BAS (-0,61 %).
The purchasers of the finished chips then include, for example. $VOW3 (-1,68 %) , $BMW (-0,09 %) , $MBG (+0,91 %) and $TM (-0,47 %). But also $V (+0,58 %), $AAPL (+3,82 %) and $SMSD (-6,13 %) 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).
