Ya LATC, it is better to destock completely off private, even if it means having some leftover cash, and having to spend that on the public market on the last day.
Suppose you were cashing +4m cash positive, and the initial jump made you go into -1m cash per turn, if you jumped 1 day earlier as a result, you lost about ~250m cash in upkeep, or ~1m NW per day. Since this upkeep is cumulative, over all 3.5 days, that's ~3.5m NW or 875m cash. (Just example numbers)
If you spent this money jumping from public at $280/NW instead on the last day, you'll avoid that upkeep loss. In the grand scheme of things, jumping a little bit of cash at $280/NW instead of $240/NW is very little loss, compared to the extra upkeep paid over the 3.5 days of jump.
My own country, I jumped about 1.5b cash off the public on $163 jets in the last 18 hours, and another 1b on $188 jets and some tanks in the final 30 minutes. There's the assumption of course that the market won't run dry of units, which is usually the case if there are enough Commie Indies, and Demo/Theo Techers reselling on the last day.
