Is this why a stock may open for more than it closed for? Are there other reasons for the stock opening for more than it closed for?

Opening gaps, or when a stock opens higher or lower than it closed preciously, are often due to a build-up of buy/sell orders the night before. Marketmakers aren't particularly charitable and will happily fill overnight orders to their benefit and trade against you.
The opening prices tend to be a reflection of the dumb money, whereas closing prices are more attributable to the smarter money.
