One e-mini contract is the same amount of exposure to the market as $50k worth of stock.

Except that the required margin to hold the contract, either long or short, is $4.5k.

If you then leave the rest of the $50k in bonds you then have fixed interest plus stock market gain ..

That is, IF you get the market direction right ..
