Clark,

The banks trade derivatives for their own accounts but they are also very active in selling derivatives to clients. There is a lost of profits for an efficient market maker.

Goldman and the others make a lot of money from derivatives but that is hardly their only source of income. They make a lot of money on underwriting and m&a activity.
