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 (+1,04%) with keyboard and mouse from $LOGN (+0,38%). The telephone system is WebEx from $CSCO (+1,71%) and the work phones are from $AAPL (-1,61%) with $DTE (+1,53%) contract (and that although next door $VOD (+1,96%) sits). In addition, there are large monitors in each conference room from $DELL (+1,87%).
In the production of the semiconductors itself there are of course many machines from $ASML (+0,72%), $CAJ and $7731 (+0%). The many industrial gases needed come from $LIN , $AI (-0,33%) and $4091 (+3,2%). The basic material and chemicals come among others also from $WCH (-0,57%) and $BAS (-0,34%).
The purchasers of the finished chips then include, for example. $VOW3 (-3,03%) , $BMW (-0,69%) , $MBG (-0,75%) and $TM (-2,13%). But also $V (+0,84%), $AAPL (-1,61%) and $SMSD (+5,4%) 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).
