user4802: If Ripple can handle money as exchanger, is it possible to use it for other financial operations like assets accounting, loans, deposits, stock exchange etc.?

user85: Ripple has a contract system under development. This will allow people to bind Ripple assets or accounts to a set of rules. This should be usable for most of the things mentioned in your question.
Loans, ideally, would be done just as negative balances on a pathway.
