How hard is it to make money in the stock market?

Isn't all you do is buy the stock that you think will go up? Or buy the stock that's going down, then wait a while for it to go buy up and sell it back again?

Is this basically the process of the stock market?
Thanks.

The Stock Exchange, NYC

The Stock Exchange is a hard shot to take as it's hard to back away to capture the entire image. I was waiting for the security guards outside of the exchange to tackle me as I set up my tripod on one of the ledges across the street. The sun was coming through the buildings at the perfect time as I scrambled to take this shot before it passed. I felt as if the heavens were pointing a spotlight creating a very dramatic lighting effect in this photo. I decided to keep parts of it very dark to emphasize the mood of that very second. I hope you enjoy.

TIP - Most people are probably aware of this but I usually take 3 exposures (-2, 0 +2) which i find to suffice in most situations, however when you have a strong light, direct sunlight or a very bright reflection it's best to take an even lower exposure (-4) to capture the detail around the reflection. Just an idea.
