5 Great Stocks You've Never Heard Of: 1 Year Later, Should You Be Glad We Told You About Them?

Anyone who spends much time following the stock market will quickly notice that certain companies get a ton of coverage. Your Teslas, your Apples, your Amazons -- retail investors flock to them for their portfolios, and the business media piles on by reporting every minor move they make.

Then there are the lesser lights -- the companies that you probably know, but don’t often think of. For example, you may have bought a few handmade items through Etsy, but you may not ever have considered it as an investment. And then… then there are those great, smallish companies that get forgotten. Ones that we, at The Fool, believe in enough to recommend, but that none of our services have put money into. So just over a year ago, Motley Fool co-founder David Gardner curated a batch of stock recommendations for his Rule Breaker Investing podcast solely from that last group. His self-imposed rules were that he could only include the more obscure stocks from the Supernova Universe: admirable businesses with market caps under $10 billion, that had never been part of a real money Supernova portfolio, were long-term market beaters, and most important, names the average American wouldn’t recognize.

Now, it’s time for the one-year review of that Great Stocks You've Never Heard Of sampler, which consisted of Ultimate Software (NASDAQ: ULTI), Orbital Atk, NuVasive (NASDAQ: NUVA), Littelfuse (NASDAQ: LFUS), and Blackbaud (NASDAQ: BLKB).
