Trail Boss Radio: Statistical Models for Core Satellite Crypto Portfolios

Every trail needs a core and a scout. In this episode, the Trail Boss breaks down the core-satellite approach to portfolio construction — where the "core" is your steady, long-haul holdings (think VOO anchoring the Major League) and the "satellite" is a smaller, higher-risk position riding alongside it, built to capture upside without threatening the herd.

This episode zeroes in on crypto's place as a satellite: the statistical models behind sizing it, why it lives inside the Minor League Watch Club with a hard cap rather than roaming free, and how disciplined position limits protect the tax-free growth of a Roth IRA while still letting you participate in crypto's volatility. No hype, no moonshot promises — just the math behind knowing how much satellite risk a core portfolio can actually carry before it starts pulling the wagon off the trail.

Whether you're building your own core-satellite structure or just trying to understand how much crypto is "too much" in a serious retirement plan, this one lays out the framework plain and simple.
