The Pitch: VeriSign

As they say on TV, it’s the cold-calling segment that's sweeping the nation; one trader, one stock, and 30 seconds to make the case.

Brian Kelly, founder of Kanundrum Capital, made a pitch for VeriSign on Wednesday's "Fast Money."

As an application software company that manages domain name servers, investors didn't like that they sold their security division. The real catalyst for this stock, he said, is foreign language domains. Kelly said they'll be able to take a company's domain in the US and convert it into a foreign language. He thinks there will be a lot of growth in this area.
