Many did.
The original impact rewarded those insiders who bought puts on sensitive corporations, like the airlines. Nobody addresses who these people were who suddenly loaded up on puts before 9/11. Yet, records must be available to find out who they are.
Some will be ordinary day traders who watch trends and buy when they see increases in put activity. Those people are just looking to make a quick buck, and thats all.
Those corporate executives who are now reaping rewards by cashing in stock options that were cheaper soon after 9/11, due to the stock market sell-off of that time, have found themselves much the better off for that economic event.
Did I say economic event?
No, I meant the events of 9/11.
And, some really big time multi-billionaires are reaping rewards of higher stock prices in recent years of economic prosperity as a result of improving conditions post 9/11.
Most interestting is the unusual upsurge in property values, and in particular, Manhattan properties sans Twin Towers.
Highly perplexing and mind boggling.

Why believe the explanations and the videos of the conspiracy theorists over those of the government, media and testimonies of those who were there that day? After all, how do we know that those conspiracy theorists are not the real conspirators? How do we know that the likes of Alex Jones are not the cynical master conspirators bent on creating chaos and anarchy? How do we know that their aim isn’t to cause the people to lose faith in their government so that they may attain their nefarious goals?
Besides if the government was going to go through all that trouble to conspire to create 9-11 don’t you think that it would have also been a good idea to plant some WMDs in Iraq?

The Carlyle Group, The owner of the world trade center who took out a huge insurance policy that included terrorist attacks, only months before 9-11, the investors who bought massive put options on the 3 airlines involved in 9-11.
Lots of people....

The defense contractors who get billions of dollars a year in contracts from the US govt
The US spends more on their military then any other nation on earth spending 518 Billion in 2005, with the next country (China) doing nothing even close (81 Billion).
When the USSR was no longer a threat, leaving no other super power to challenge, the spending was then justified by fighting "The War on Terror".
Don't take my word for it... The CIA has a world fact book they they publish that breaks down the expenditures

Are we back on this again? I foresee this line of thinking continuing indefinintely into the future. Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Clinton, the "Jews", Halliburton, and Rice had nothing to do with the attacks of Sept 11th. It was authorized and planned for years by muslims who believe in a literal interpretation of the Koran. Haven't we seen enough evidence of how they think and act (since 9-11) to convince people what their true aims are?
They wish to install a caliphate (successor to mohammed of sorts) in the middle east. This caliphate would be ruled with sharia law (islamic law) . It would be brought about by jihad (holy war). How do we know this? They tell us - often.
Please get a grip folks. Western cultures are under attack by a 7th century belief system. The sooner we all realize it, the easier it will be to combat.

Al Qaeda. That particular success brought tremendous support from various Islamic funding sources. They proved that they could carry out a complex, high-profile operation.
Security companies have benefited by constructing the tools the US uses to fight back, from electronic systems for detection of weapons to the guidance systems for bombs dropped on Al Qaeda's training college in Afghanistan and terrorist targets elsewhere.
Oil speculators have gained by the 'scare' that oil supplies would be cut off, so their speculation investments paid off handsomely. Except for those who invested recently.
The actual MASTERMIND behind the 9/11 attack, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, was nabbed, tortured and spilled information leading to the capture and killing of quite a lot of senior Al Qaeda. So, the actual planner did not gain economically.

Dick Cheney and Halliburton. Dick Cheney's pension went from about $125,000 a year to over $450,000 a year after the invasion of Iraq.

It certainly wasn't the US. It through us further into the recession Clinton has put us in, it was disastrous for the airlines. The only ones that gained from this tragedy were the Ba%tard terrorist who orchestrated it.

Al-Qaeda profitted nicely. Their membership and donations increased, but the US froze much of their assets as did other countries.
Please provide a link that provides support for your accusation in the added details.
