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 (-1,06%). The PC's and the monitors themselves are all from $HPQ (+4,21%) with keyboard and mouse from $LOGN (-1,09%). The telephone system is WebEx from $CSCO (-0,78%) and the work phones are from $AAPL (+2,74%) with $DTE (-0,21%) contract (and that although next door $VOD (-0,23%) sits). In addition, there are large monitors in each conference room from $DELL (+0,57%).
In the production of the semiconductors itself there are of course many machines from $ASML (-1,83%), $CAJ (+0,8%) and $7731 (+0,77%). The many industrial gases needed come from $LIN , $AI (+0,02%) and $4091 (-0,49%). The basic material and chemicals come among others also from $WCH (-0,32%) and $BAS (+0,13%).
The purchasers of the finished chips then include, for example. $VOW3 (-1,64%) , $BMW (-2,49%) , $MBG (-1,19%) and $TM (+1,48%). But also $V (-1,4%), $AAPL (+2,74%) and $SMSD (-0,17%) 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).
