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 (-2,44%). The PC's and the monitors themselves are all from $HPQ (-1,62%) with keyboard and mouse from $LOGN (+0,9%). The telephone system is WebEx from $CSCO (+1,5%) and the work phones are from $AAPL (-0,7%) with $DTE (-0,5%) contract (and that although next door $VOD (+0,99%) sits). In addition, there are large monitors in each conference room from $DELL (+2,45%).
In the production of the semiconductors itself there are of course many machines from $ASML (+3,17%), $CAJ (-0,83%) and $7731 (+1,93%). The many industrial gases needed come from $LIN , $AI (-0,02%) and $4091 (+1,53%). The basic material and chemicals come among others also from $WCH (-0,41%) and $BAS (-1,07%).
The purchasers of the finished chips then include, for example. $VOW3 (-1,38%) , $BMW (-1,28%) , $MBG (-0,44%) and $TM (-0,15%). But also $V (-1,02%), $AAPL (-0,7%) and $SMSD (+3,56%) 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).
