Why wouldn't you go ->mon(sell)->theo? It gets you ~17% more NW for your stock (15% cheaper military).
That means $10B (let's assume for ease of math) in stock effectively becomes $11.7B. With a two day rep destock (pretty average I think), maybe you're still in the green after you make your initial jump when you begin destocking, but it won't be nearly significant enough to make up for the $1.7B you could have had.
This will indeed prolong your destock by 17%, but that''s *maybe* 40 turns worth of production lost. Still, it doesn't make up for the 17% gain. In fact, in this scenario you could be cashing $40M a turn for those 40 turns, and it would still make financial sense to switch.
