Yes you can. You will be classified as a non resident alien since you are not a US citizen. You should be able to open an account online, deposit money to your account and you can trade. Use someone like Charles Schwab & Co., since they are large enough to allow you to do this. But first check the website to get all the details on the procedures.

We (Americans) will gladly welcome your money. Non-US citizens are allowed to buy and sell stocks in the US. We only care a little who owns what as long as you pay for what you own…..

You can invest in US companies even if your not a US citizen. Any major broker should permit you to do so.
