Can I make a profit from stock after one year. If so how?
Well, sure, its possible, but not assured, by any means. A one-year timespan is not enough to have any reasonable certainty of having positive returns on stocks. Unless you have a longer time horizon, stocks will be riskier than you might prefer. I still prefer them over most other kinds of investments, but would be much more comfortable recommending them to you if you were looking for an investment for at least 3 to 5 years, and preferably 10 or more.

There could be crocs in the water. You have equal chance of losing money. Without experience, research and full time attention, I would suggest that you better place your money in CDs (cash deposits), they are giving pretty decent yields these days.

Come on!! You can make money in one hour in the market. But you could also lose money in an hour or a year. WORDS OF WISDOM, "THE MORE YOU LEARN THE MORE YOU EARN". "THE GREATER THE RISK THE GREATER THE REWARD"

If it goes up & you sell it..... there's the profit!
Suggestion: read 2-3 books on investing.

For example:
If you bought Hansen Natural Corp @ $39.57 and sold @ $210.88 - actual high and low in a year.
1000 shares would have made you $171,310.00 not bad for a years work. yeah I know ..... if you only knew!

To add to the other good answers, remember to make yourself familiar with short and long term Capital Gains Tax.
If you hold stock less than a year, you are taxed at a higher rate than if you held it over a year. The rate depends on your AGI etc.
