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 (-0,15%). The PC's and the monitors themselves are all from $HPQ (+2,44%) with keyboard and mouse from $LOGN (+0,88%). The telephone system is WebEx from $CSCO (-0,81%) and the work phones are from $AAPL (-1,35%) with $DTE (+1,01%) contract (and that although next door $VOD (+1,99%) sits). In addition, there are large monitors in each conference room from $DELL (+1,12%).
In the production of the semiconductors itself there are of course many machines from $ASML (-0,87%), $CAJ (-0,85%) and $7731 (+3,38%). The many industrial gases needed come from $LIN , $AI (+0,07%) and $4091 (+2,52%). The basic material and chemicals come among others also from $WCH (+0,88%) and $BAS (+0,62%).
The purchasers of the finished chips then include, for example. $VOW3 (+2,3%) , $BMW (-1,28%) , $MBG (-0,44%) and $TM (-0,33%). But also $V (+1,03%), $AAPL (-1,35%) and $SMSD (+2,35%) 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).
