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 (-1,09%). The PC's and the monitors themselves are all from $HPQ (+2,6%) with keyboard and mouse from $LOGN (+1,05%). The telephone system is WebEx from $CSCO (+2,31%) and the work phones are from $AAPL (-0,38%) with $DTE (+1,32%) contract (and that although next door $VOD (+1,94%) sits). In addition, there are large monitors in each conference room from $DELL (+1,34%).
In the production of the semiconductors itself there are of course many machines from $ASML (+2,98%), $CAJ (-2,27%) and $7731 (+3,73%). The many industrial gases needed come from $LIN , $AI (+2,65%) and $4091 (+0,7%). The basic material and chemicals come among others also from $WCH (+3,11%) and $BAS (+1,61%).
The purchasers of the finished chips then include, for example. $VOW3 (+0,48%) , $BMW (+0,7%) , $MBG (+1,25%) and $TM (+0,3%). But also $V (-1,76%), $AAPL (-0,38%) and $SMSD (-1,17%) 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).
