'Shorting' is selling stocks you don't have in the hope that the prices will fall.
When the buyer demands delivery of the stock you can then buy those stocks in the open market for less than you already sold them for, making a profit in the process.
If the prices do not fall, you have to buy them anyway and will lose money on the transaction.

How does a portfolio with 2 stocks decrease if both stocks are increasing?
The value of a portfolio may decrease when the stocks are increasing in price if the portfolio owner is making bets that the stocks will decrease in price. One way to do this is by short selling ('shorting') a stock. This essentially means you borrow the stock and then immediately sell it, in the hope that the stock will decrease in value so you can buy it back at the lower price (the opposite of buying a stock and hoping for an increase in value).
