Good morning! Sharing a password with a friend or family member so you can get access to their Netflix or Disney+ account is well and good—but would you share a password with a total stranger for a steep discount? That's the concept behind Together Price, which launched in Europe five years ago and is now available in the U.S. The company offers a marketplace of people willing to share their media and tech subscriptions with people they don't know, which means you could pick up logins for Starz, Spotify, and Disney+ all for $10 a month (compared to the $28 it's worth)—that is, if you can trust your new account buddies.

Robinhood’s riches: What you need to know
Robinhood, the stock-trading platform, has priced its shares between $38 and $42 for its highly anticipated initial public offering. That would give the company a valuation of up to $35 billion. 
The company filed for its IPO earlier this month, one day after it agreed to pay $70 million to settle a broad range of complaints related to its business practices. 
In its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Robinhood said it had 17.7 million monthly active users and that more than half of those are first-time investors.
No listing date has been announced. Robinhood will trade on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol HOOD.
