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 (+0,51%). The PC's and the monitors themselves are all from $HPQ (-0,47%) with keyboard and mouse from $LOGN (+0,65%). The telephone system is WebEx from $CSCO (-2,73%) and the work phones are from $AAPL (+0,54%) with $DTE (-2,27%) contract (and that although next door $VOD (-0,93%) sits). In addition, there are large monitors in each conference room from $DELL (-2,58%).
In the production of the semiconductors itself there are of course many machines from $ASML (-1,8%), $CAJ (+4,55%) and $7731 (+3,18%). The many industrial gases needed come from $LIN , $AI (+1,22%) and $4091 (+2,78%). The basic material and chemicals come among others also from $WCH (+0,64%) and $BAS (+2,47%).
The purchasers of the finished chips then include, for example. $VOW3 (+1,02%) , $BMW (-0,21%) , $MBG (+0,43%) and $TM (+7,97%). But also $V (+0,82%), $AAPL (+0,54%) and $SMSD (-1,73%) 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).
