If you are a really good or lucky trader, you can make money in any kind of market. Some banks made up the dubious CDS from questionable house loans, making tons from selling them, and then made money again by shorting them. AIG was one of the poor fools that was left hanging the bag when the housing bubble burst. So, I wouldn't say Wall Street is the worst place to be protesting.
