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 (-1,64 %). The PC's and the monitors themselves are all from $HPQ (-4,92 %) with keyboard and mouse from $LOGN (-0,3 %). The telephone system is WebEx from $CSCO (+1,34 %) and the work phones are from $AAPL (-2 %) with $DTE (-0,2 %) contract (and that although next door $VOD (-0,07 %) sits). In addition, there are large monitors in each conference room from $DELL (+1,08 %).
In the production of the semiconductors itself there are of course many machines from $ASML (-3,04 %), $CAJ (+0 %) and $7731 (-2,72 %). The many industrial gases needed come from $LIN , $AI (+0,25 %) and $4091 (-1,26 %). The basic material and chemicals come among others also from $WCH (+3,46 %) and $BAS (+1,8 %).
The purchasers of the finished chips then include, for example. $VOW3 (-1,81 %) , $BMW (-0,99 %) , $MBG (-1,04 %) and $TM (-2,5 %). But also $V (-0,25 %), $AAPL (-2 %) and $SMSD (+2,23 %) 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).
