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 (-0,7%). The PC's and the monitors themselves are all from $HPQ (+0,64%) with keyboard and mouse from $LOGN (+2,07%). The telephone system is WebEx from $CSCO (+0,09%) and the work phones are from $AAPL (-0,84%) with $DTE (+0,16%) contract (and that although next door $VOD (+0,41%) sits). In addition, there are large monitors in each conference room from $DELL (+0,96%).
In the production of the semiconductors itself there are of course many machines from $ASML (+4,89%), $CAJ (+0,87%) and $7731 (+1,98%). The many industrial gases needed come from $LIN , $AI (+0,45%) and $4091 (+0,98%). The basic material and chemicals come among others also from $WCH (+4,54%) and $BAS (+0,19%).
The purchasers of the finished chips then include, for example. $VOW3 (+2,14%) , $BMW (+0,31%) , $MBG (+0,97%) and $TM (+0,66%). But also $V (-0,68%), $AAPL (-0,84%) and $SMSD (+11,18%) 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).
