Don't do this! Maybe with some throwaway, lottery ticket money. But this is pretty much the definition of putting all your eggs in one basket.
You'd be taking on unnecessary risk without the additional expected returns. Better advice is contribute what you want into a diversified mutual fund (no need to wait to save a G, you can invest anything as little as $100)
