Quite a few trades were obviously done on behalf of clients, who would then obviously take the win/loss as the values of the bonds changed. But quite a few of the traders were out there trading on their own as well to make profit for Goldman, just the same as many of their counterparts at other firms.

That should be your answer right there. On behalf of others means they are brokers, no? So, obviously they aren't losing money, their clients might be though.
