Will the mortgage resets coming up in 2010-2012 be as destructive as this one?

The next wave is nearly as large as this one, but the big difference seems to be that the wave coming 2010-2012 has very little subprime mortgages resetting, and a much larger percentage of option adjustable rate and Alt-A mortgages resetting. What is the difference between subprime, opion adjustable rate, and Alt-A mortgages, and do you think the second wave will be as destructive as the one we're currently experiancing?
Here is where i found a chart of the mortgage resets:

Generally, real estate markets move in cycles. During the last cycle, the real estate market peaked in 1990, and the market bottomed in 1997. The primary reason the bottom formed was because incomes and rents finally caught up to housing prices.

If we decide to buy property we have to go for undervalue property to escape from unnecessary risk especially in the next 05 years. Current depression and rising unemployment will affect badly for some countries. Demand will go down for many assets.

According to some second wave will be as destructive as the one we are having now. This will differ from country to country.

Option ARM Time Bomb About To Explode

Fitch Ratings on Tuesday released a wide-ranging look at option ARMs that paints a decidedly negative picture for the mortgage markets over the next 36 months. In fact, the picture is a downright scary one: the bottom line is that most outstanding neg-am mortgages won’t get out of 2011 alive, thanks to forced recasts.

Fitch analysts said they now expect roughly $29 billion in option ARMs to recast to higher monthly payments by the end of 2009, and an additional $67 billion to recast in 2010; of this, approximately $53 billion is attributed to early recasts.
