5) Banks are braced for record debt defaults in the 2010 New Year.
6) 7.5 million foreclosure sales will have taken place between 2006 and 2011.

9) Analysts at Deutsche Bank Securities expect 21 million U.S. households to end up owing more on their mortgages than their homes are worth by the end of 2010.
