Equity Research is an interesting profession. I mean, even the Goldman reports have headers that end with ?!???!....I think one question mark would suffice...

I find these titles amusing as well.
It varies across the firm I work at and my analyst will ocassionally throw in a random one at times. Rumor has it though, people (buyside) are more likely to read a report with the unique (or crazy, whichever you prefer) title which ultimately can improve an analysts' franchise.
Here's a couple good ones that I saw recently:
Pop A Cap In Your Assets—Medical Costs Higher
Insurance Is Like Marriage: Pay, Pay, Pay, & Never Get Anything Back
Catchy titles definitely work. I once wrote a report with a title something like
Who Stole Carmen Sandiego's Virginity?
Carmen Sandiego was a popular character in Broderbund's educational software line.

Sint quidem libero explicabo impedit in odit. Illum sunt fuga provident enim aliquam tempora.
