Hedge funds, when you account for the survivor bias, may not get a better risk adjusted rare of return than the average investment or investor, and sometimes the return will be negative, but I very much doubt they are normally negative over time (many probably have been negative recently, but that's normal in a downturn).

In any case we where not talking about hedge funds, but about proprietary trading from banks (if nothing else, banks don't get charged the high fees that hedge fund investors get charged and so are less likely to have a negative return after costs).
