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 (+1,49%). The PC's and the monitors themselves are all from $HPQ (+0,14%) with keyboard and mouse from $LOGN (+0,29%). The telephone system is WebEx from $CSCO (+0,98%) and the work phones are from $AAPL (+0,79%) with $DTE (-0,07%) contract (and that although next door $VOD (-0,39%) sits). In addition, there are large monitors in each conference room from $DELL (+2,28%).
In the production of the semiconductors itself there are of course many machines from $ASML (-0,11%), $CAJ (+4,08%) and $7731 (+1,64%). The many industrial gases needed come from $LIN , $AI (-0,38%) and $4091 (+1,59%). The basic material and chemicals come among others also from $WCH (+5,19%) and $BAS (-1,52%).
The purchasers of the finished chips then include, for example. $VOW3 (-1,33%) , $BMW (-0,12%) , $MBG (-0,57%) and $TM (+0,86%). But also $V (-1,13%), $AAPL (+0,79%) and $SMSD (-1,76%) 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).
