Warren Buffett decide to dump airline stocks — here's why MadMoneyOnCNBC's JimCramer says this should be a wake-up call for index investors.

"I recommend selling" some position in the S&P 500 index fund "if the [upward] streak continues," Cramer said.

He also said he thinks "many investors are in denial about how bad things can be for" some of the most vulnerable companies. Cramer, on the other hand, has spent recent weeks advocating that "Mad Money" viewers opt for stock picking over index investing in this uncertain market. The host warns that a basket of stocks — such as the S&P 500, which is largely representative of large-cap publicly traded companies — forces investors to take the high-performing holdings with the laggards.

"If you're in individual stocks and they can grow even in tough times, then you should be in much better shape than the index-fund investors who are really stuck holding the bad with the good, because right now there's a lot more bad than Wall Street seems to think," he said.for the long haul at Berkshire's annual meeting. He said people are paying "huge amounts of money" for "advice they really don't need" through a stock brokerage.

"In my view, for most people, the best thing to do is owning the S&P 500 index fund," Buffett said. "If you bet on America and sustain that position for decades, you'd do far better than buying Treasury securities, or far better than following people who tell you" what securities to buy.

MadMoneyOnCNBC jimcramer How about we stop worshipping him like he’s some investment deity? He has pretty much underperformed the S&P for the past two decades.

MadMoneyOnCNBC jimcramer If ALL of the Airlines went back to charging us ONE PRICE and STOP charging separately for a fn Seat, Bags, Breathing, perhaps people who have more respect for them. I'm just sick of the way they charge us these days! AmericanAir Delta united Allegiant AlaskaAir

MadMoneyOnCNBC jimcramer Warren bluffet, he’s jumping right back in soon as the price is right

MadMoneyOnCNBC jimcramer I don't care what jimcramer has to say about index funds. I can't build a diversified portfolio with out mutual funds or etfs. According to studies 80% of managed funds fail to beat the indexes. For that you get to pay commissions and higher fees.

MadMoneyOnCNBC jimcramer Not a good sign

MadMoneyOnCNBC jimcramer I admire Warren Buffett. Very much. 👍👍✌️👊
