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 (-0,48 %). The PC's and the monitors themselves are all from $HPQ (+1,35 %) with keyboard and mouse from $LOGN (+1,55 %). The telephone system is WebEx from $CSCO (+2,37 %) and the work phones are from $AAPL (-1,17 %) with $DTE (+1,61 %) contract (and that although next door $VOD (+1,96 %) sits). In addition, there are large monitors in each conference room from $DELL (+2,94 %).
In the production of the semiconductors itself there are of course many machines from $ASML (+0,82 %), $CAJ and $7731 (+0,12 %). The many industrial gases needed come from $LIN , $AI (+0,74 %) and $4091 (+13,78 %). The basic material and chemicals come among others also from $WCH (-0,7 %) and $BAS (+0,38 %).
The purchasers of the finished chips then include, for example. $VOW3 (-2,26 %) , $BMW (+0,26 %) , $MBG (-0,25 %) and $TM (-2,39 %). But also $V (+1,16 %), $AAPL (-1,17 %) and $SMSD (+9,39 %) 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).
