It is more easier if you select a Broker in India that would allow you these services. The reason being the broker in India will follow the required norms by India and allow you to invest without much hassel. Further as the institution would be in India, it would be more easy for resolving any disputes.
ICICI Direct an Indian online broker allows one to trade in US stocks.
For more details refer to ICIC Direct.
Reliance Money also offers limited trading in US stocks.
Selecting a Broker in US maybe more difficult as your would have to met their KYC norm's and also operate a Bank account in US. I am not aware of the requirements.
For more details visit ICICI Direct website. Refer to www.finance-trading-times.com/2007/10/investing-in-us-stocks-and-options.html for a news article.
TDAmeritrade or Charlesschwab are good online brokers, however from what I read they are more for US nationals holding Social Security. Further with the recent events and KYC norms becoming more stringent, it would be difficult for an individual [Indian Citizen] to open an account directly with these firms.
OptionsXpress includes India in the list of countries where is possible to open an international account to invest in the US Stock Market. They just merged with Charles Schwab and they have a nice online trading platform. Stocks and ETFs are little bit pricey..
Get in touch with them to get more information.
