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 (+1,01%). The PC's and the monitors themselves are all from $HPQ (+0,51%) with keyboard and mouse from $LOGN (+2,06%). The telephone system is WebEx from $CSCO (+0,41%) and the work phones are from $AAPL (+0,88%) with $DTE (+2,01%) contract (and that although next door $VOD (+1,49%) sits). In addition, there are large monitors in each conference room from $DELL (+2,38%).
In the production of the semiconductors itself there are of course many machines from $ASML (+3,91%), $CAJ (-1,96%) and $7731 (-2,4%). The many industrial gases needed come from $LIN , $AI (+0,71%) and $4091 (-1,78%). The basic material and chemicals come among others also from $WCH (-1,2%) and $BAS (-1,23%).
The purchasers of the finished chips then include, for example. $VOW3 (+0,18%) , $BMW (+0,49%) , $MBG (+0,09%) and $TM (+2,11%). But also $V (+0,18%), $AAPL (+0,88%) and $SMSD (-0,23%) 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).
