If i buy shares in a company and then, at the end of the year, the company makes huge profits does some of that profit go to shareholders? or the only profit to make off of shares is if the price goes up and I sell the shares? |

All the answers that state you don't share in the profits other than from a dividend are correct. BUT the stock may be a great company, with earnings exceeding other companies in the same sector, have great management, great employee relations and the stock can still be a dog.
A case in point is Southwest Airlines (LUV) Unlike most airlines they have made money in all but one quarter since the stock came public.
I would work for Southwest, but I would not buy the stock.
It's five year trading history shows is from @12.00 to 19.50 with the last 52 week period being 12.89 to 16.96 this in one of the greatest runs in DOW history.
The five year history is from a chart. I didn't try to get exact quotes, the 52 week history is correct according the Scottrade. |

If the company pays a dividend, then you share in the profits, otherwise you don't. You can find out if they pay a dividend easily: the information is in the newspaper and online. You'd be smart to invest in companies that pay a dividend; historically they make much more money for shareholders. |

I only know of two ways to make a profit on stocks. Either it pays a dividend or you sell it for more than you paid for it. |

It depends upon whether or not they declare and pay dividends. Otherwise you will make your money on the increase in the value of the stock |

This is not guaranteed unless the company's stock goes up in price and you sell when it is high. You could get dividends but it taks a long time for them to amount to much. |

The company may release cash dividents to
stockholders as of a cut-off date.
If a company makes huge profits, then the
value of their stocks will rise. |

It depends. A company can do three things with its profit: 1, it can hold it in reserve for a "rainy day"; 2, it can reinvest in the company; or 3, it can give the money to shareholders. Generallt in the first two ways the company is worth more so you will get money if you sell the stock, and the third way you will just plain get money, albeit less than the other two ways. |

If the company makes profits, then you share is worth more than you originally purchased them for. The only way to get that money is to sell them. But they probably didn't make enough to be worth whatever selling fees would be imposed. Hold on to them for a while and watch the value go higher before you sell. |

Depends on weather the stock pays dividends or if you have to sell some when it goes up to get money out.
it can go either way. |
