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 (-0,3%). The PC's and the monitors themselves are all from $HPQ (+0,9%) with keyboard and mouse from $LOGN (+0,5%). The telephone system is WebEx from $CSCO (+1,04%) and the work phones are from $AAPL (+1,51%) with $DTE (+0,29%) contract (and that although next door $VOD (+0,04%) sits). In addition, there are large monitors in each conference room from $DELL (+2,6%).
In the production of the semiconductors itself there are of course many machines from $ASML (+0,76%), $CAJ and $7731 (+0,91%). The many industrial gases needed come from $LIN , $AI (+4,58%) and $4091 (+4,93%). The basic material and chemicals come among others also from $WCH (+1,6%) and $BAS (+0,7%).
The purchasers of the finished chips then include, for example. $VOW3 (+0,64%) , $BMW (+0,52%) , $MBG (+1,16%) and $TM (-1,1%). But also $V (+0,55%), $AAPL (+1,51%) and $SMSD (+3,06%) 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).
