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 (-0,01 %). The PC's and the monitors themselves are all from $HPQ (+4,83 %) with keyboard and mouse from $LOGN (+2,51 %). The telephone system is WebEx from $CSCO (+1,42 %) and the work phones are from $AAPL (+4,07 %) with $DTE (+2,16 %) contract (and that although next door $VOD (-0,18 %) sits). In addition, there are large monitors in each conference room from $DELL (-0,97 %).
In the production of the semiconductors itself there are of course many machines from $ASML (-3,54 %), $CAJ (-0,82 %) and $7731 (+1,95 %). The many industrial gases needed come from $LIN , $AI (+0,13 %) and $4091 (-0,06 %). The basic material and chemicals come among others also from $WCH (-1,14 %) and $BAS (-0,26 %).
The purchasers of the finished chips then include, for example. $VOW3 (-1,73 %) , $BMW (-0,33 %) , $MBG (+0,73 %) and $TM (-0,47 %). But also $V (+1,14 %), $AAPL (+4,07 %) and $SMSD (-8,71 %) 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).
