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 (-2,62 %). The PC's and the monitors themselves are all from $HPQ (-14,31 %) with keyboard and mouse from $LOGN (-16,04 %). The telephone system is WebEx from $CSCO (-8,82 %) and the work phones are from $AAPL (-6,25 %) with $DTE (+0,36 %) contract (and that although next door $VOD (+0,5 %) sits). In addition, there are large monitors in each conference room from $DELL (-17,01 %).
In the production of the semiconductors itself there are of course many machines from $ASML (-7,33 %), $CAJ (-6,21 %) and $7731 (-3,2 %). The many industrial gases needed come from $LIN , $AI (-2,82 %) and $4091 (-1,97 %). The basic material and chemicals come among others also from $WCH (-5,49 %) and $BAS (-5,22 %).
The purchasers of the finished chips then include, for example. $VOW3 (-2,69 %) , $BMW (-2,73 %) , $MBG (-2,59 %) and $TM (-5,52 %). But also $V (-2,64 %), $AAPL (-6,25 %) and $SMSD (-4,83 %) 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).
