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 (+1,2%). The PC's and the monitors themselves are all from $HPQ (+1,43%) with keyboard and mouse from $LOGN (-0,24%). The telephone system is WebEx from $CSCO (-1,91%) and the work phones are from $AAPL (-0,38%) with $DTE (+2%) contract (and that although next door $VOD (-0,32%) sits). In addition, there are large monitors in each conference room from $DELL (-1,72%).
In the production of the semiconductors itself there are of course many machines from $ASML (-1,82%), $CAJ (-0,42%) and $7731 (-1,5%). The many industrial gases needed come from $LIN , $AI (+1,81%) and $4091 (-1,89%). The basic material and chemicals come among others also from $WCH (+0,43%) and $BAS (+0,74%).
The purchasers of the finished chips then include, for example. $VOW3 (+0,09%) , $BMW (-1,23%) , $MBG (-0,27%) and $TM (-0,96%). But also $V (+2,93%), $AAPL (-0,38%) and $SMSD (-7,97%) 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).
