Assuming your expenses are 100,000
Assuming your expenses increase linearly(ignoring the 40mil networth thing)
Assuming each turn produces 10,000 turrets and increase your expenses say 5,000 for easy calculation purpose

As you can see, if you do selling, your expenses are lower at the same no. of turns you're playing. This also means you dont need to have 2bil cash before the last 360 turns, you can get them while you're spending your turns and selling some military and simply have more cash before to invest in tech first.
In this example, I did not include the turn spent for putting on the market because the figure is too small.
In addition, military are generally higher price on the last day.
So I still dont see why you should do a 360 turn destock at one go. I dont know about you guys, but this are just my thoughts. lol
