Some Vanguard index funds have a $1000 minimum and you don't have to risk your money with a (frankly) sketchy investment like this.

You can also buy them on the stock exchange for less than $10 in transaction fee, and I think the minimum there is a lot less than $1000.

Good point. IIRC, if you buy the ETFs directly from Vanguard, there is no transaction fee, making it even less expensive.
