No, it's really not.

If it were, shell games would be great as well? One like the other is simply fraud. You exploit others' lack of insight.

Doing so is unethical due to the implications it would have on a societal level if it were condoned. In particular, you likely imagine yourself regularly ending up on the better end of the bargain. You are wildly mistaken.

Insider Trading is just fine because it allows the market to function.

If you don't want to participate in it you don't have to, but why should other suffer because of your moral hangups about other people making money?
