I thought people only made money from stocks simply by buying low then selling high or buying high then selling higher.

Doesn't that require short-selling / owning options?

Isn't that why it's important to use stop orders when short selling? I've read some stories about people short selling and letting it go while they are asleep or go on vacation only to find out they're $100K+ in debt the next day.
