Investopedia explains 'Benjamin Method'

The Benjamin Method focuses on such metrics as the P/E ratio, which enables investors to determine how expensive the earnings of a company are relative to its competitors. However, rather than simply relying on static metrics, a full picture can only be determined by examining the quality of the earnings, as well as other corporate performance measures.
