Warren Buffett has delivered market-beating performance over 58 years as chairman of Berkshire Hathaway .

Buffett is known for value investing, meaning he aims to scoop up shares of companies that are trading for bargain valuations now.

Buffett may have decided to lock in profits and allocate funds to individual stocks.

Buffett 's decision to sell the S&P 500 index funds doesn't mean you should stay away from these funds or stocks in general.

Instead, it highlights the importance of considering valuations and holding onto quality investments for the long haul.

Even if the index fund falls in the near future, it's likely to deliver a long-term win for you.
