You can't trade on a major exchange unless you hold a seat. To hold a seat, be prepared to pony up a million dollars or so. If you can't a afford a seat, you need to find someone who has one. Generally, this person will charge you a fee to buy or sell stock for you. This fee will be hefty because traders make money on commission and volume. Lower volume trades require a higher commissoin and, therefore, increase the cost of the stock you are buying or reduce the sale price of the stck you are selling. This is why most people use a broker to buy or sell stock for them. Aside from providing investment expertise, a broker brings a lot of investors together and is able to achieve volumes and reduced costs a single investor could never hope to achieve.
So, yes it is possible to invest directly in a company's stock, but you'd have to be pretty wealthy to do it.

Try Sharebuilder.. It's a pretty good service for very little $. You can investing directly in about 500 companies, but it's a huge administrative nightmare.
