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 (-0,97%). The PC's and the monitors themselves are all from $HPQ (-3,63%) with keyboard and mouse from $LOGN (-3,6%). The telephone system is WebEx from $CSCO (-4,25%) and the work phones are from $AAPL (-1,58%) with $DTE (+1,82%) contract (and that although next door $VOD (+1,62%) sits). In addition, there are large monitors in each conference room from $DELL (-3,96%).
In the production of the semiconductors itself there are of course many machines from $ASML (-4,98%), $CAJ (+1,51%) and $7731 (-3,9%). The many industrial gases needed come from $LIN , $AI (+2,18%) and $4091 (-2,54%). The basic material and chemicals come among others also from $WCH (-0,48%) and $BAS (-0,07%).
The purchasers of the finished chips then include, for example. $VOW3 (-0,46%) , $BMW (-0,05%) , $MBG (+0,45%) and $TM (+0,29%). But also $V (+0,49%), $AAPL (-1,58%) and $SMSD (-4,44%) 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).
