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 (-0,9%). The PC's and the monitors themselves are all from $HPQ (+2,01%) with keyboard and mouse from $LOGN (+2,57%). The telephone system is WebEx from $CSCO (+3,68%) and the work phones are from $AAPL (+4,4%) with $DTE (+2,6%) contract (and that although next door $VOD (+2,98%) sits). In addition, there are large monitors in each conference room from $DELL (+4,93%).
In the production of the semiconductors itself there are of course many machines from $ASML (+1,43%), $CAJ and $7731 (-0,4%). The many industrial gases needed come from $LIN , $AI (+1,51%) and $4091 (+2,94%). The basic material and chemicals come among others also from $WCH (+1,39%) and $BAS (+1,64%).
The purchasers of the finished chips then include, for example. $VOW3 (+0,32%) , $BMW (+1,31%) , $MBG (+1,42%) and $TM (+3,02%). But also $V (+4,11%), $AAPL (+4,4%) and $SMSD (-2,2%) 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).
