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 (+1,47 %). The PC's and the monitors themselves are all from $HPQ (+1,22 %) with keyboard and mouse from $LOGN (+0,84 %). The telephone system is WebEx from $CSCO (+1,4 %) and the work phones are from $AAPL (+3,07 %) with $DTE (-1,18 %) contract (and that although next door $VOD (-2,13 %) sits). In addition, there are large monitors in each conference room from $DELL (+0,82 %).
In the production of the semiconductors itself there are of course many machines from $ASML (+5,11 %), $CAJ (+2,03 %) and $7731 (+0,82 %). The many industrial gases needed come from $LIN , $AI (+1,43 %) and $4091 (+3,22 %). The basic material and chemicals come among others also from $WCH (+2,64 %) and $BAS (+2,7 %).
The purchasers of the finished chips then include, for example. $VOW3 (+1,28 %) , $BMW (+1,63 %) , $MBG (+2,33 %) and $TM (+3,76 %). But also $V (-1,42 %), $AAPL (+3,07 %) and $SMSD (-0,56 %) 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).
