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 (-3,3 %). The PC's and the monitors themselves are all from $HPQ (-5,92 %) with keyboard and mouse from $LOGN (-7,22 %). The telephone system is WebEx from $CSCO (-3,83 %) and the work phones are from $AAPL (-4,63 %) with $DTE (+0,17 %) contract (and that although next door $VOD (-0,43 %) sits). In addition, there are large monitors in each conference room from $DELL (-4,8 %).
In the production of the semiconductors itself there are of course many machines from $ASML (-5,06 %), $CAJ (-5,88 %) and $7731 (-8,31 %). The many industrial gases needed come from $LIN , $AI (-1,63 %) and $4091 (-6,83 %). The basic material and chemicals come among others also from $WCH (-4,22 %) and $BAS (-1,86 %).
The purchasers of the finished chips then include, for example. $VOW3 (-2,24 %) , $BMW (-2,64 %) , $MBG (-1 %) and $TM (-2,72 %). But also $V (-2,33 %), $AAPL (-4,63 %) and $SMSD (+1,7 %) 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).
