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 (+0,16%). The PC's and the monitors themselves are all from $HPQ (-1,89%) with keyboard and mouse from $LOGN (-0,52%). The telephone system is WebEx from $CSCO (+0,03%) and the work phones are from $AAPL (-0,72%) with $DTE (+0%) contract (and that although next door $VOD (+0,94%) sits). In addition, there are large monitors in each conference room from $DELL (-0,52%).
In the production of the semiconductors itself there are of course many machines from $ASML (+0,77%), $CAJ (+0%) and $7731 (-1,55%). The many industrial gases needed come from $LIN , $AI (-0,66%) and $4091 (+0,51%). The basic material and chemicals come among others also from $WCH (-1,31%) and $BAS (+0,11%).
The purchasers of the finished chips then include, for example. $VOW3 (-1,45%) , $BMW (-2,26%) , $MBG (-1,9%) and $TM (+1,37%). But also $V (+0,93%), $AAPL (-0,72%) and $SMSD (+0,25%) 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).
