credit markets - in crisis ?

in an interview i watched yesterday the guy was saying that it's not the stock
mkts that's the problem but the credit markets:

that they haven't bottomed, spreads are at record highs and going higher, that
there's daily forced selling of major structured credit products and portfolios,
discounting is dramatically worse, 90% of high yield bonds are liable to default
over the next 5 years - impossible, credit mkts discounting 20% yields

if you can make sense of that, can you explain what's going on, what the whole
picture is and consequences of what he's referring to
