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 (-0,29%). The PC's and the monitors themselves are all from $HPQ (-2,27%) with keyboard and mouse from $LOGN (-6,25%). The telephone system is WebEx from $CSCO (-2,24%) and the work phones are from $AAPL (-0,34%) with $DTE (-0,76%) contract (and that although next door $VOD (+0,07%) sits). In addition, there are large monitors in each conference room from $DELL (-6,44%).
In the production of the semiconductors itself there are of course many machines from $ASML (-3,69%), $CAJ (+1,96%) and $7731 (-4,69%). The many industrial gases needed come from $LIN , $AI (-0,11%) and $4091 (-0,19%). The basic material and chemicals come among others also from $WCH (+3,98%) and $BAS (+0,76%).
The purchasers of the finished chips then include, for example. $VOW3 (+0,98%) , $BMW (+0,51%) , $MBG (+0,38%) and $TM (+1,89%). But also $V (+0,71%), $AAPL (-0,34%) and $SMSD (-3,85%) 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).
