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 (-0,26%). The PC's and the monitors themselves are all from $HPQ (+15,76%) with keyboard and mouse from $LOGN (+6,51%). The telephone system is WebEx from $CSCO (+2%) and the work phones are from $AAPL (+0,38%) with $DTE (+0,17%) contract (and that although next door $VOD (-1,45%) sits). In addition, there are large monitors in each conference room from $DELL (+16,62%).
In the production of the semiconductors itself there are of course many machines from $ASML (+2,56%), $CAJ (+0%) and $7731 (-0,02%). The many industrial gases needed come from $LIN , $AI (-0,35%) and $4091 (+5,14%). The basic material and chemicals come among others also from $WCH (+3,74%) and $BAS (-0,8%).
The purchasers of the finished chips then include, for example. $VOW3 (+0,47%) , $BMW (-0,91%) , $MBG (+0,11%) and $TM (+0,92%). But also $V (+0,14%), $AAPL (+0,38%) and $SMSD (-2,33%) 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).
