I've read that the terms LONG & SHORT have
to do with the observation that price tends to
rise slower than it falls.
Hmmm... I'm not too sure.

Any thoughts?

Dunno about that. But has anyone else noticed how you can lose money quicker on a bad trade than you make it on a good trade.

Or is that just me

It's true just about everything in life. It takes nine months to have a baby, and it can die in an instant. It takes years to build a reputation, but one moment to destroy it. It takes years to put up a massive building, but moments to bring it down. It's a lesson that's extremely important in trading, and life, to understand.

Do you mean it's not a legend about someone falling down?

Have a GREAT WEEK, Gwan!
