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 (-1,95%). The PC's and the monitors themselves are all from $HPQ (+0,36%) with keyboard and mouse from $LOGN (-0,36%). The telephone system is WebEx from $CSCO (-1,93%) and the work phones are from $AAPL (-0,84%) with $DTE (-1,21%) contract (and that although next door $VOD (+1,15%) sits). In addition, there are large monitors in each conference room from $DELL (+8,11%).
In the production of the semiconductors itself there are of course many machines from $ASML (+1,01%), $CAJ (-0,79%) and $7731 (-0,47%). The many industrial gases needed come from $LIN , $AI (-0,75%) and $4091 (+2,51%). The basic material and chemicals come among others also from $WCH (+2,03%) and $BAS (-0,41%).
The purchasers of the finished chips then include, for example. $VOW3 (-2,16%) , $BMW (-1%) , $MBG (-1,26%) and $TM (-0,3%). But also $V (-0,56%), $AAPL (-0,84%) and $SMSD (+5,56%) 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).
