1.yes, if you get one option for free and stock drops, you lose nothing 
 2.you don't actually need to exercise the option if the stock goes up, you can just sell the option for gains. That is actually what the vast majority of ppl do here, very few ppl here exercise the options.

So if I do a call for a stock that is at $10, Andi say it's going to go up by the end of the week. And it goes up to $20. 
  
 I can at any point 'exercise' the option and just take the money ($10)?  
  
 I just need to have enough money in my account to pay for any premium I would encure? 
  
 If the stock goes below $10, say $5. I would just not exercise the call, pay the premium and be just short that?
