If you're a pure quant who is very strong in academics, well the books doesn't teach to "make money out of stock markets", but rather the concepts behind it. The traders on the other hand understands the dynamics, the regulations, the economics, the money management, the easiest job that is to buy and sell and talk with the prime brokers etc. You can't have quants know so much or else nobody will do the right maths. Finally, it is also market and vehicle/instruments dependent as well. I hope I answer your question, else I would love to hear answers from someone else too !
