In a free market society the question is not why are some making a profit on Wall Street. The question usually is" Why have you not made a profit on Wall Street?" The opportunity is there for everyone.
Bigger profits are made with bigger investments, but profits can be made with small investments. Almost all retired people who are living with income from other than SS are living off of Wall Street. Either they have invested personally or the people responsible for their retirement fund have invested. Few have invested entirely in bonds. If they have retirement that is earned from a company, a teacher's fund, a public fund, like a policeman's , etc., their retirement fund is diversedly invested in Wall Street.
