HK stocks edge up, but Bernanke comments weigh

HONG KONG, April 3 (Reuters) - Hong Kong stocks opened flat

Bernanke said a recession was possible.

The benchmark Hang Seng Index .HSI opened up 0.31 percent
at 23,872.43. The China Enterprises Index of Hong Kong-listed
mainland companies .HSCE, or H shares, was up 0.49 percent at
12,870.06 as of 0202 GMT.
