Good answer from Tennyson.

In my humble opinion, while eps, pe's and other ratios are important they can be distorted as to whether or not a co is paying tax, not paying tax,doing one off deals, writing off or revaluing assets etc.

For good long term investment, look for sustainable earnings with earnings growth potential from operating profit. Read the Chairman's annual report as a possible indicator.
