Abstract
This paper investigates the role of investor sentiment in bank liquidity. I argue that investor sentiment provides banks with a natural hedge against liquidity risk in normal times. However, banks are unaware that such hedge becomes invalid during a prolonging distress. I show that these together contribute to the excessive growth of credit lines in market booms, which may in turn plant the seed of a potential liquidity crisis.
